The paradisegate won the International Ice Sculpture Competition

A duo from Czech Rebublic who has made an incredible peace of art called Paradise gate won the International Ice Scultpure competition in Vaasa.

Even though it's freezing cold outside (although the sun is warming quite a bit already) the interest in the competition and voting for the best sculpture was so great that the organizers ran out of voting ballots. The sculpture with the snake by the gate to paradise was both the audience's and the jury's favorite.

If you want to have a look at the sculptures who came in second and third, and at a selection of the masterpieces in the competition, go here.
